I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
So much average
Memorable, crazy movie
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This movie is superb. There are very few flaws. The acting is great, with Hillary Swank absolutely shining in the lead, well deserving of her Academy Award for Best Actress.The only thing that always bugged me is the explanation behind the knock-out "mechanism", which is simply incorrect.The 1/10 ratings are moronic. Don't pay attention to them. People don't know film if they think this deserves 1/10.
Clint Eastwood is known for filiming strong characters in a sensitive way. It is once again the case here. Except that as I don´t like boxing, I did not get quite into this one.
Awesome cast. Awesome acting and a believable twist that shows the best and worst of people and that family isnt about blood, but about mutual respect, love, and trust.More honest movies like this please Hollywood.
A heartbreaking experience, a film that literally punches you in the face, in all its sincere and genuine emotions. Eastwood's directing style is sober and clean, and the story is truly touching in its simplicity. The performances are outstanding, Swank in particular was born for the role, but all the actors did well.
